Dunmanifestin, the Terry Pratchett Estate, has engaged RCW literary agent Jon Wood as a consultant on literary matters.
Wood will help the estate handle Pratchett’s existing body of work as well as representing any future ancillary projects. RCW already manages the literary estates of many other distinguished writers, including Angela Carter, Raymond Chandler, Alasdair Gray, P G Wodehouse and Nancy Mitford.
Rob Wilkins, Pratchett’s former assistant, friend and head of the author’s literary estate, said: “Jon has already proven to be a fantastic addition to the team, helping tend the vast canon that Terry left behind as well as assisting in the development of exciting new projects. Terry grows ever more established as one of literature’s great figures, and we are delighted to have one of his most enthusiastic cheerleaders at our side.”
Wood added: “I have loved Terry’s writing since my teens, so this is pretty much a dream come true. It’s also a hugely exciting time to be working with the estate. There are so many good things happening right now in TV, in film, in Rob’s upcoming biography this autumn and with the rollout of the star-studded new audio adaptations. But, in the end, I share one huge ambition with Rob and his team – that Sir Terry continues to be remembered as one of the most astute and humane of all modern writers.”
